He hasn't started to dribble but is in full possession of the ball. Why even have a travel rule if you can just walk/run

Probably already discussed but is this steal travel dunk by Lebron a joke or what? Traveling's no longer a thing?

That’s pretty clearly not a travel

2 steps, dribble, 2 steps. I mean, there are plenty that seem to be questionable

Yeah, we takes two steps after he picks up the dribble. There are lots of questionable no calls in the NBA but this aint

You can't take 2-3 steps before beginning your dribble, so that part, I think

If you are already running you can. He knocks the ball out, doesn’t have possession, picks the ball up, takes a step and

I count 2 steps after picking up the bal and beginning the dribble.

dratax

Apr 28, 7:25pm

Two steps are allowed

RealTaysomHill

Apr 28, 8:09pm

1 step to dribble, 2 steps to pass or shoot

Plato

To me. the ball is no longer "loose" when he has full control of it but continues to take 2 steps mid dribble.

Soupie

Apr 28, 7:07pm

He can take as many steps as he wants mid dribble

RealTaysomHill

Apr 28, 7:08pm

Maybe I should say between dribbles.

Soupie

Apr 28, 7:09pm

Again, he can’t take as many steps as he wants in between dribbles

Same answer. Can take unlimited steps between dribbles. The first time he

But he IS CARRYING the ball with BOTH hands then transfers to one hand all while running.

Soupie

You alone are correct on this. It’s literally everyone else that is wrong.

Appreciate the patronizing but I really am trying to understand.

Soupie's not alone.

It’s really only 1 step after he gathers it before dribbling, until he gets the

I looked again & checked the NBA rule. I still see 2 steps after control.

Apr 28, 7:55pm

“gains enough control of the ball to hold it, change hands, pass, shoot, or

cougaman

Apr 28, 8:01pm

I see control occuring before two hands are on the ball.

dratax

Apr 28, 10:58pm

The gather step is step 0, not step 1.

scootsy

Apr 28, 7:45pm

So: loose ball-Control-gather step (step 0)-step one-dribble begins?

dratax

Apr 28, 8:02pm

Yep, good explanation.

scootsy

Apr 28, 8:06pm

I believe you meant before dribbling

RE: To me. the ball is no longer "loose" when he has full control of it but

scootsy

Apr 28, 7:09pm

"Active". Is it active if he has yet to dribble but has both hands on the ball while running?

Soupie

Apr 28, 7:12pm

Even if you’re counting from where he first touched the ball, forgetting

scootsy

Apr 28, 7:14pm

So how many steps are acceptable while carrying the ball in your hands?

Soupie

Apr 28, 7:17pm

Knocking the ball out of his hands isn’t a dribble. He only dribbles once

cougaman

Apr 28, 7:20pm

Not a LeBron guy here, but this doesn’t even look close to a travel

Coog4Life

Apr 28, 7:09pm

He has the ball fully controlled in both hands while running and takes a couple steps without dribbling.

Soupie

Apr 28, 7:11pm

What do they say about someone who walks out of the house and everyone they meet

Same here.

A travel is whatever we want it to be.
